Adaptive Technologies (AT) refer to software and/or devices that enhance the ability of students to gather, manipulate, understand, and use information.

Students with disabilities should consider the acquisition of adaptive technology skills as fundamental in securing equitable access. That being said, students with disabilities who strive for success at college need to become experts about their own disabilities and what strategies for accommodating those disabilities serve them best in the postsecondary educational setting. For some students, the most promising accommodations involve the use of adaptive technologies that complement effective learning strategies and study skills. Students with disabilities who register with the Disabilities Resource Center can receive Adaptive Technologies orientation and have access to Adaptive Technologies devices and computer workstations throughout SF. The following sections provide a starting point for students seeking to enhance their skill set for college by employing adaptive tools.
